I had this really long response to your comment, but hotmail, in conjunction with LJ, ate it. So I'll try again.
My site is actually hosted on a server in my friend's closet, to I think that has something to do with the ups and downs of getting it to load. Most often than not it doesn't load for me, but it does for my friends.
I find that I'm always relieved when Martin/Sam turns into nothing. And I hope that CBS will continue to keep them apart. I know both Martin and Danny have been loosely depicted as straight, but I find that their lack of discussion aobut women gives CBS the ability to, you know, continue to keep WAT as my favorite show. Or maybe it's just the fact that Eric and Enrique have such fantastic chemistry that we're just seeing their friendship. But sometimes I wonder, after all, they share moments and arguments that no one else shares. I know that Jack and Viv argue (like colleagues) and Sam and Jack have had their differences and moments (and you can pick out, from reading the episode transcripts (which I did, okay, I skimmed looking for M/D slashyness), including the pilot, that they were implying something between Sam and Jack. And, I must admit, I am a Sam/Jack shipper, in that I like them together but have never, and will probably never, read fics. (Too much like Josh/Donna for me.)
I was talking about "Until ..." Sadly, no new ones, but you never know with me. One I'll say "oh, god I can't write" and then next, I'll be banging out fics like there's no tomorrow. So, we'll see. Plus, the Boondock Saints fandom has kind of taken me over for the moment. Anyway.
Thank you for the feedback. I don't have nearly enough friends who watch CSI, and especially WAT. I have a few (I've converted some people, to both slash and Martin/Danny), but most of my friends read my fics to humor me (Not only do I write CSI and WAT, but I write in really rare fandoms, usually made up of myself.). So it's really fantastic to hear from someone who knows the characters. It gives me confidence to keep writing.
The story had a nice, realistic tone, but it didn't go overboard on the angst- it's pleasantly subtle as it inches toward a happier ending.
I love angst like you wouldn't believe (which, I suppose, is why I'm so fond of the HP fandom, and why I write about what I do ... And the way I write). Most of my fics aren't happy, but there's just something about Martin and Danny that makes me strive to get them to work things out. Also, I enjoy writing post-eps, and I wanted to do that more with WAT, but after much thought, I decided that I'd have to write some sort of epic typing them together, because of the way the writers have changed their relationship. For example, the fights they had at the beginning of the show to Danny's whole "we make a hell of a team" statement in AYNOHYEB shows us how much they've grown closer. And as for writing that? It's daunting and something I'd want to do before next season. I have, what? Two and a half months? Maybe I could do it ;)
Briefly: CSI. I have problems with the show in that the characters never have enough screen time, especially Nick/Greg. Also, people need to stop slashing Gil with people (like the whole Jack slashing thing). It needs to stop. Please. For my sake ;)
Anyway. I'm so thrilled you read my fics! And it makes me grin that not only do you like them, but you think I write the boys (men :) well. I try, and sometimes think they don't work, which is probably one of the reasons I don't write as much. I'll try to keep writing. Again, thank you!
